If it is still young, a 20 gal can work well for a short period of time, as it will make it easier for a baby to find food. If bigger, go for a 4 foot long stock tank (you can get them at a farm supply store). I like cork bark for my ackies. You can pile it up for a basking spot and they will crawl all over and between it. Plus, if they dislodge a piece, it won't crush them. Then just lay other pieces on the substrata. They tend to arrange things to suit themselves.
Home Depot is your friend. They have 1/4" acrylic that you can cut to fit as a top for your enclosure (tip - they sell special jig saw blades for acrylic. Invest in one or two, as it makes the whole job easier).
Good luck, and thanks for thinking of your ackie first, rather than your ego. You are going to make a great monitor keeper!
